Hi, I’m jake, a creative.
I guess. I do a lot of things. Including working as an Account Manager for world class Ad Agencies, Directing & Writing Music Videos and Brand Content, Commercial and Private Photography, and Socioeconomic Photojournalism Research focused on Los Angeles and Social Class Mobility.
What ties it all together? The explanation could be lengthy so I’ll do my best to sum it up in three words: empathy, creativity, & communication.
So take a look below and let me know if anything stands out.
